JPFO Celebrates 25 years

Our later Founder Aaron Zelman began JPFO back in 1989 when even then thinks looked bleak for gun rights. Much has changed since then and the fight continues to protect those rights, with much help from members and visitors. An impressive collection of our many achievements can be seen by visiting our 'Flyer' web page.

During 2014 we are celebrating our 25th Anniversary and have launched an Anniversary page, which already shows some offers we will be running, and there are more planned during the year which will be added to the page later.

The JPFO Campaigns Page

Way back, Aaron Zelman instigated campaigns to educate and inform, which included as with the BATFE, an attempt to expose its out-of-control core of abuses and flagrant disregard for constitutional integrity. The "Dial 911 and Die" book is just one example of exposing the many misconceptions surrounding ‘Police Protection’. In more recent times, award winning videos have added to the mission of education.

Visit the The Campaigns Page to see the thrust of JPFO’s efforts over the years to educate and create change.

JPFO’s Network Page.

Another older page but one with a few links intended to point towards areas more outside of the JPFO main stream. It includes a link to a ‘Forum’ page where you may wish to submit us an article, Jewish world population from 2006, a link to help you sign up for alerts, external links, and our business directory.

Check out this light-weight "Networking Page" and you may find some useful information.

JPFO Freedom Music.

We have a number of Freedom oriented sound files - mostly songs, but also including a reading of the Bill of Rights. Some of the earliest items were made by Aaron's son Jeremy and over time since then we have received a few more from various sources.

These all have copyright to some degree by default but they are freely available for download and distribution, for non-commercial use. To download any of these files go to the main page, but we do also offer these files set up in a freedom music player, such that you can listen here on JPFO. We hope you can enjoy some of the inspirational, as well as fun music tracks.

Talkin’ to America, the audio files.

August 2005 saw the beginning of this exclusive JPFO feature. It has comprized interviews with people within, for the most part, the Second Amendment community and supporters of The Bill of Rights, and more often than not interviews were carried out by Aaron Zelman himself. The end result was an MP3 soundfile for download or utilizing as a Podcast with iTunes or similar.

Since Aaron’s passing in December 2010, there has been a temporary hiatus but it is planned to bring this back to life again. There are a great many items worth listening to and so, take a tour through the Talkin’ to America pages and familiarize with all the material on offer.

The JPFO "About Us" page.

JPFO explains its origin and mission to give you a feel for why the site exists and its primary aims. Visit About JPFO and learn more about the organization.

To realize the achievements brought about by Aaron Zelman during 20 years, be sure also to see the "Freedom Flyer" page - a great place to start exploring JPFO.

In its mode of more recent new-look presentation, JPFO still has all material available but older archived items will often come up in the previous site format, which does not however compromise the availability of actual information.

The Open Letters Index

JPFO has over time written many open letters, and while it is often difficult to gauge their impact - in the end the sending of a (usually strong) message across a wide audience is the main objective. Just perhaps sometimes these are seen by people who either pause for thought, or even gain an understanding of an issue. Some letters came from other authors but are shown due to their relevance and importance.

Go to the Open Letters Page page where you'll find a list of many letters both written by JPFO and others and accumulated over time. Find time to read as many as you can (most may be on the old site format).

An index page for Bill of Rights items.

JPFO's material on the Bill of Rights is broad and considerable. In order to try and facilitate visitors being able to find most relevant material it seems logical to try and provide a starting point, with links to the various and numerous pages JPFO has, thus an index page

Go to the Bill of Rights Index page where you'll find a substantial list of articles relevant to the American Bill of Rights. Many may be on the old site format.

Site Links Alternate Option

In our newer look site layout we have tried to put significant emphasis on navigation. The content is large after many years and so some things can be hard to find, but it is hoped that the top menu bar and left column flyout menu will cover most needs adequately. In order to give yet another option we have the links repeated on a separate page.

Go to the "Site Links Various" page where you'll see a simple "tree" structure, giving a quick look at the most important choices.

JPFO’s Membership and Donations Page.

This will take you to our Membership and Donations page within which you can find out how to join JPFO and also make a donation to assist with its continued successful operation to preserve our rights.

As always funding is crucial to maintain the organization and so all help is greatly appreciated, however modest. We offer a few options for this, which includes a printable form approach using a downloadable PDF file, or a secure on line method via our JPFO Store.

The JPFO Handbills Page

Over time JPFO has taken a graphics approach to reinforcing certain mission intensive issues, by generating handbills that people can print out and pass around.

These usually amplify a message towards those in power who wish to see law abiding people disarmed. More recently these have been additional to strong open letters.Go check out the handbills page, the most recent additions are at the top of the page.

JPFO Videos and Books

JPFO has been prolific over the years with publishing major book titles such as "Dial 911 and Die", "Gun Control, Gateway to Tyranny" and the very popular "Granpa' Jack" booklet series. Then also producing award winning films such as "2A Today for The USA", "No Guns for Negroes", and more recently "No Guns for Jews" .

JPFO’s Tribute to its Founder

On December 21st 2010, JPFO’s Founder Aaron Zelman passed away. It was both a tragically sad loss, as well as a blow to suddenly feel almost leaderless. Aaron’s mission however is still alive and well as we have picked up the pieces and strive to continue and further the cause with vigor and determination towards even greater achievements.

Even if you are new to JPFO, Read our tribute, as you will learn much about the origins and purpose of JPFO, and the man who gave it life. A suitable companion to this tribute is "The JPFO Freedom Flyer", which was a celebration of JPFO’s 20th anniversary.

The Rabbi’s Pages Index.

Rabbi Dovid Bendory is the JPFO’s Rabbinic Director, and since the passing of Aaron Zelman in 2010, has magnificently filled the gap regarding the Jewish aspect. He is a man of great energy and integrity - also known as "The Gun Rabbi" - and is passionate about the right of self defense. JPFO is fortunate to have his considerable wisdom and enthusiasm.

The Gang Movie

This deep digging documentary movie was released in 2007 and runs 85 minutes. It contains material that many would find hard to believe, as it exposes the abuses and inconsistencies of the out-of-control agency BATFE.

Purchase a copy from the JPFO store, learn the facts, and then pass that information on to those who might have any doubts. Current events concerning the "Fast and Furious" debacle, otherwise known as "Gun Walker" just amplify the degree of corruption that exists. Go visit the Gang Movie Site and learn more. You can also see a short trailer here on JPFO.

The JPFO Help Page.

This page was made some time ago and is only there to try and assist with a few aspects of usage and functioning relative to browsing the site. It is more for the novice user than the experienced but may hopefully assist some with a few aspects.

Need help? Check out the JPFO Help Page in case it might clarify a problem. If you feel it should be covering another subject or differently - email us and say, and we'll try to help further.

Volunteers?

Since the "New Look" change mid 2011 - we are still thirsty for feedback but sadly get very little. Can we ask for one or two regular visitors to volunteer to regularly report, mentioning any link or display problems, and Email us with info. Some errors can be hard to track down and so outside help is most useful.

"Gun of the week" has been running for some time - let’s hear from you. Like - not like? Any other suggestions?

Alerts can sometimes bounce!

Note - (July 2011) We notice sometimes that out of the thousands of alerts sent out, there can be rather high numbers of "bounces" - on checking with our provider it would seem that now and again an ISP makes some change to their email settings and that can result in non-delivery to those using that ISP.

If it happens to be something like Hotmail, Yahoo or even gmail - then many can be affected temporarily. For those who miss out on one of our sendings, we apologize, but the provider does try to stay ahead of things when they can by making changes in their own settings to reflect ISP changes and so control the bounces, which we like to see as zero!

If in doubt, please check the alerts archive to make sure you have not missed anything. Also, if you get alerts do please open them!

Why Join JPFO?

JPFO tries to be an educator by supplying "intellectual ammunition" - the idea being that we provide information for folks to use the best they can, to further the fight against "Gun Control". We are tax exempt and cannot lobby or endorse but, for sure we can give you the fodder you need such that you can do your bit the best way you can. The fight to preserve our 2A is vital.

Researching to find data, writing articles, as well maintaining the site - all takes time and expense and so, help towards keeping this active and vital is essential. We would encourage anyone who finds our efforts worthwhile to become a member, or even donate - it all helps us survive and continue the hard fought battle.

Please dig deep, use the search, explore through our menus - find even old pages and pass them on. Dissemination of material is invaluable.

Comments to JPFO

From time to time we receive comments which we would like to share. Many are included within orders from the JPFO online store but also sometimes directly through an email. Last names are not shown to preserve privacy.

I may or may not be Jewish( I like to think that I am), but if the Nuremburg laws were enacted here today, I would be carted off just like any other Jew. My father was Jewish, and I'm very proud of that fact. My father was also a WW II veteran and taught me to shoot. May G_d bless you and your organization! NEVER AGAIN!!!
Christopher H

I just found your web site by accident and I was amazed to view such a GREAT web site on the internet. Keep up the exceptional work by spreading the truth and the American way of life the way it's supposed to be, not the way the corrupt politicians want it to be. May the God above (not allah) continue to bless you and your staff and protect you from the evil ones which are destroying the world in which we live in. I'm not Jewish but my Messiah is. I'm a Christian who supports you and your web site. Stay well and stay safe.
Nick N

Dear Webmaster, I'm enormously appreciative beyond words for the Special Forces letter. This is certainly one of the best I've ever read. It is obviously well written. As you are a primarily Jewish organization,you are a shining light on the horizon for us non-Jews. Jews have historically suffered severely when slaughtered by Jack Boots. History has led to a robust assertiveness on the part of the JPFO and Israel. God Bless You,
Charles C

Glad you are there. I'm Jewish (though not at all religious - what can I say. I'm honest.) I am from California. 'nuff said. I am SO happy to see some 2A supporting Jews - it seems we are big thought and movement leaders of the liberal/progressive movement. That makes me very sad, as I have diametrically opposed views, now, though I didn't always. (I was raised typically liberal Jewish in San Francisco, but 9/11 changed me by 180 degrees.) Anyway, I would love for there to be a JPFO in California, but I unfortunately do not have time or experience to start one. Use my donation as best you see fit, but if I can influence it at all, please make sure to send DVDs to some California synagogues. Political ideology, unfortunately, has become very much like religion, and people's invested views are VERY hard to budge, even with facts and logic.
Gary Z

I was a (shooting) member for years. Then I guess I let it lapse. Sorry, I'm 84+. Your Commemorative Edition galvanized me. Thanks.
Dan, NRA Lifer and Endowment Member.

There is a possibility that my paternal grandmother was descended from German Jews. I grew up in an area with only US military television available and saw old footage of the Nuremberg trials. I cannot adequately express to you how relieved I am to see your group standing up and speaking out against extremists on the left who want nothing more than to revisit the past. It is despicable that leftists claim the Nazi's were extreme right wingers, when in fact the Nazis were the Nazi Socialist Party! I pray you continue to stand strong and speak out. Go with God.Irene B

I am not Jewish at all but I just wanted to say right on! Keep it up if only the Jewish people of Europe had been armed they would not have died. Free people own guns.Regards,
Patrick H

I enjoy your web site and the intelligent and logical articles. I share it with all of my friends. Thanks for the standing up for the rights of all gun owners. The info is useful for both Jews and Gentiles alike. Keep up the fight.
Mike P

Keep up the great work! I have been NRA lifer for 35 years and refuse to give them more than your website when they call. NRA is interested in keeping the issue because it is a money pit for them and they like rubbing elbows in DC. I always refer their callers to JPFO.ORG for what a real pro freedom pro gun is like!!!
Martin H

That genocide chart is incontrovertible. The fact the gun control laws are listed also, in excruciating detail, makes the whole thing that much more potent. Thanks a lot for creating it.
Dana E.

To whom it may concern,
I am not Jewish, I am however, a concerned American, and feel that your organization is portraying the ideals that our forefathers, as well as my own, in a VERY positive way. I have gone over some of your website and thought I should write and tell you that I thank you for your continued efforts. It means a lot to me, not only as a Christian, but as an American to see that rights which should never be lost, are still held dear. Bravo!
It is good that we have freedom of faith, and I may not hold the same exact thoughts that you may hold on some things, at least we are bound as people to be reasonable, rational, and resolute in the protection of our human rights. You should know I was very moved and surprised that your organization was so level headed and straightforwardly educated in the history of our great nation. As a Christian American, I stand right next to you any time.
Jay F

I look forward to being a part of this wonderful organization. I am a proud Jew and a proud gun owner!
Sean T (new member).

Heard about your organization via The Shooters Log - Cheaper Than Dirt, got on your site and listened to Rabbi Dovid Bendory and it was one of the best discussions I have heard. Keep up the good work as it is going to be a rough year ahead for 2nd Amendment Patriots.
Kethy S.

This is a membership renewal (12/24/12). You are doing fantastic work. Your recent articles have been very helpful and I've been forwarding them to my anti-gun Jewish acquaintances.
Thank you again, Beth

I don't quite remember the exact path I took to your website.(most likely Google or YouTube) I do know I was looking for an alternative to the most liberal of Jews..."Getting rid of all guns will solve our problems". I thank you and your organization for being the alternative to this, and being to what my belief is a reasonable stance on guns.
Thank you again, Dave

Dear jpfo:
Thank you very much for your existence!! I feel that you are more vital than the NRA! I trust you more and read more of your e mails than that of the NRA! Thank you for being who you are you are our only hope for freedom in America. Ron K.

This donation is in response to Rabbi Bendory's recent Talking to America on the Aurora shooting. It was great that he brought up the 'other' Aurora shooting a few months ago - the one that the 'old media' fails to mention because it is against their anti-gun agenda. He also mentioned the Internet Cafe shooting in which the armed patron defended himself and the other customers. Another huge thank you to JPFO for all that you do! Douglas M, OK.

Please extend my thanks to Rabbi Bendory for his personal inscription and autograph to me. I deeply appreciate his kind and timely response. Thanks again to him and to the rest of "ya'll" (as we say down here in Georgia) for fighting for our 2A rights. Best wishes, Dr. Doug GA

Please do me the honor of having the Rebbi and/or the staff autograph( "To Doug") your letterhead/card/picture for my personal "Wall of Fame" in my home. As a proud multi-gun owning Jew I applaud your wonderful efforts to support the 2nd Amendment and more importantly our often overlooked/ignored right to defend ourselves. May Hashem bless you! Best wishes, Dr. Doug GA.

Thank you for your 2nd Amendment and gun rights work. Thomas G, SC

This donation is in response to the July 4th alert, which included the link to Mr. Zelman's excellent "An Open letter to Our fathers and Grandfathers". I have sent the alert to everyone on my mailing list, asking them to read the article. The timing of the donation, on July 4th, is also a fitting tribute to JPFO - an outstanding protector of our rights, freedoms and liberties. Keep it up, JPFO! Douglas M OK

I am extremely impressed with what I have learned so far about your organization, and what you have accomplished thus far. I am proud to be joining and supporting an entity that represents so well something I am extremely passionate about - our Second Amendment rights. I smile when I wonder what my late German-Catholic father would say if he heard I was a member of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership :) Mark B of NY

I had never heard of your group until today, but if your material is as good as it seems, I will do my best to help promote your cause. By the way, I'm a tree- hugging, dirt-worshiping Wiccan who believes that America's greatness lies in our freedom to stand up for our rights against 'all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC'! Blessings on you & you're endeavors! Janice W, TX

As always, wish I could do more, as you and the GOA are the only two groups I support now on our small income. Rabbi Bendory's words are so motivating and strong that I felt the need to offer this small amount tonight. You all are always in my prayers, and please, in your kindness, please remember my beloved wife Lynn in your own - she is still bedfast but we hope she will walk again soon. Julian H, AL

I am a life member. This donation is a response to Rabbi Bendory's recent informative and inspirational video (e-mail from May 17). Please tell Rabbi Bendory thank you for all that he does for JPFO and for our country AND of course, a huge thank you to everyone at JPFO! Douglas M, OK

Why would I want to pay for the NRA's miniature poodle when I can support JPFO's pit bull (Rabbi Bendory) instead! David K, TX

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
I heard Ted Nugent on Armed American Radio and he mentioned that anyone who cares about Freedom & 2A can join JFPO. Lawrence B, GA

Condolences on Mr. Zelman's demise. He was a terrific American. Nobody said it like him. Blessings to whoever fills his great big shoes. Robert R, OR

Very important work you are doing. It is through apathy, that we initially lose our rights. And once our rights are gone, it becomes much easier for the state to confiscate our property; and in the most extreme cases, our lives. Keep up the good fight. I'm glad you are out there. Samuel L, ON Canada

THREE CHEERS! The "Open Letter..." (to WI Jewish Chronicle) was one of the best written persuasive documents I have seen in a long time. Keep up the excellent work. Some of us gentiles need to take a lesson from you, our brothers. David N, Muscatine, Iowa.
